This conference is interested in diverse readings of the places we 
inhabit: their design, management, planning, social policies, cultural 
trends and, specifically in the context of this strand, their 
technologies and uses of diverse medias.

The conference welcomes examinations of the urban economies and smart 
cities of the digital age, whether stemming from Silicon Valley or 
Taiwan. It is interested in critiques of urban regeneration and creative 
economies, whether they come from the North or South America. It seeks 
debate on digital heritage and its impacts from across Europe, Asia and 
beyond.

Engaging with these questions from the city of Manchester, UK, the 
conference location is a perfect example of the complexity that typifies 
urbanization: Home to one of the UKs most ambitious regeneration 
projects in recent decades, Salford MEDIA CITY, it has embraced the 
incorporation of technology in everything from its urban planning to 
governmental management. It is a national and global transport hub, is 
central to the UK economy and has been branded a ‘Northern Powerhouse’.
